Sustain notes without pedal

Post by fromthetop »

Hi, I am looking for a way to make my sounds sustain for a second or two without the pedal. I play a farmer foot drum while I play the keyboard and have no way of using the sustain pedal. I just need enough sustain to make it sound smooth. Any thoughts? Thank you in advance!!

Hello, and welcome to the Forum! I would suggest trying a NSMP/NSMP3 sample with the synth ENV/AMP Releases set about 3. You can find piano samples to go along with your favorite piano and layer them, or even take a stab at creating your own NSMP3 sample. Here's a link to the Nord NSMP3 piano samples https://www.nordkeyboards.com/sound-lib ... -30/pianos. Good luck to you!

Also, many pedals have a "latch" function, so you can turn sustain on and off that way.
I think I have gear issues ....
